SWIFT OCEAN WASPS FIND MORE VICTIMS German Submarines Sink Passenger Craft With Loss of Many Lives Fast and powerful submarines of the German navy have torpedoed two more British steamers in the waters adjacent of the British Isles. Both steamers, the Falaba and Auglia took to flight at the sight of the submarines, but were speedily overhauled, with the result that both were sent to the bottom, with a loss of life estimated at between 140 and 150 Only a few minutes were allowed the passengers and crews to put off in the boats, and according to the survivors, the Germans turned their guns on the captured ships and added to the loss of life by shell fire. Since the French merchantman, Admiral Ganteaume, with 2,600 rofuj gees from Belgium and French coast towns, was torpedoed February 2b, the Falaba, which was in the ?Vctt Af'-var. seivice, is the only stea'.mr carrying anj great number of pasr? ngers tf rt has been sunk by a German submarine. The falaba had aboard, according to latest official list published by the Elder Dempster Steamship company, 151 passengers, of whom 86 were saved. Four passengers are reported to have been killed and 61 are missing. Fortya.1 _ r at. _ t ?* uixee oi me crew aiso are missing On the Aguila, three passengers and 23 of the crew were lost. WILKIN SVILLG Wilkinsv:,le, March 23.?A negro by the name of Isom Brown wa;. shot and killed yesterday on the Estes brothers place near here bA another negro named Boyd Tate, The killing was done with a shot gnn, the load taking effect in his - neck. I have not learned the particulars but have heard that a womai. was mixed up in the affair. Tate was taken by the sheriff and is now in jail. Coroner It. F. Spencer was soon on the ground and held an inquest, the verdict of which was in accord with the above stated facts. The dead negro had recently been released from the chaingang in North Carolina. The Sunnyside school is making preparations to be represented at Field Day in Gaffnev on April 2nd. Mr. F. A. Goforth who cut his foot so severely with an axe several weeks ago is able to be out again. The wound has healed nicely and he is now able to be out again. Messrs Robert and Jeff Vaughan spent last Saturday night with Mr. Wm. Bennett and family at Smyrna.

Rev. E. E. Gillispie, of .<X,VD H preached on Sabbath evening. Farmers have begun to plow some, but the lands seem to be too wet in most places for the small grain crop, though oats are looking fairly well for the time of year, byv not a great deal of wheat sown in this section. The graveyard fence at Salem received a coat of paint last week which added much to its appearance as well as preservation. - Some of our people attended preaching service at Mesopotamia church last Sabbath and heard the new preacher, who impressed them very favorably with his good sermons and his personality. Camp Jeffries, U. C. Veterans will meet at Sunnysi'de school house next Saturday the 20th to enroll their camp dues and elect delegates to'the Richmond reunion, which comes off .June 1-2-3, also to elect delegates to the State reunion to be held at Columbia, April 28-29th. I am so pleased to note the improvement in The Times as a newsnaper since I began writing for it. Though it has had several reverses of fortune and changed hands several times, its progress has been upward and onward all the time, until it is now classed as one of the best weeklies in the State. I am glad to read the letters from the correspondents, some I know and some I do not but have formed a good opinion of them. My first letter to the naper was written during the time the venerable Robert M. Stokes was its editor. When he first asked me to write, I told him I could not get up news that WOllld interest. hi? ronrlorc Kut - he said "never mind, a dog light would be interesting to readers at a distance from the scene." This we have found to be true, more or less. Since I have been cut off from the old county of Union and identified with the new county of Cherokee, I have formed new alliances and my poor efforts at journalism have been confined mostly to the Claffney Ledger. through which 1 have formed new acquaintances. The Ledger hai treated me with a good deal of consideration and loyal friendship; its editor, Edd DeCamp, is one of the best "all round" friends I have evol qn/l T lutlinvn K<? vuamI/1 fWrKt me if it were necessary and the cause justifiable. Mr. Editor come sometime thu Spring or Summer and take a stroll with us over this country and gel what good people and friends in this "Union cut-off" you have, who will m accord you a fjood time, a warm - welcome and unestimated hospitality, Vox.

Is Child's Stomach Sour, Sick? !f tongue is coated or if cross, feverish, constipated give "California Syrup of Figs." Don't scold your fretful, peevish child. See if tongue is coated; this is a sure sign its little stomach, liver and bowels are clogged with sour waste. When listless, pale, feverish, full of cold, breath bad, throat sore, doesn't eat, sleep or act naturally, has stomach-ache, indigestion, diarrhoa, give 1 a teaspoonful of "California Syrup t>f Figs," and in a few hours all the iOni wastjj^be sow tyle and fermenting f5od*-7.c..3es out "of the bowels and you have a well and playful child again. Children love this harmless "fruit laxative," and mothers can rest easy after giving it, because it never fails to make their little "insides" clean and sweet. Keep it handy, Mother! A little given today saves a sick child tomorrow, but get the genuine. Ask your druggist for a fiO-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," which has directions for babies, children of all ag.'s and for grown ups plainly on the bottle. Remember there ate counterfeits sold here, so surely look and see that yours is made by the "California Fig Syrup Company.' Hand back with contempt any othci ; fig syrup.
